Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt misses preseason training camp in Chile due to minor injury.

Swiss ski champion Marco Odermatt will miss a preseason training camp in Chile after suffering a minor muscle injury. Winnipeg Free Press reported that Odermatt felt pain during a physical training session, and team exams confirmed the injury. The Swiss team has not disclosed further details about the specific injury or expected recovery time.
Odermatt is seeking his sixth straight overall World Cup title this season. The News Enterprise noted his bid for the title is off to a rocky start with this unexpected setback. With five overall World Cup titles, Odermatt sits tied with Marc Girardelli in second place on skiing's all-time list.
The Swiss ski team confirmed the injury is minor after medical exams. HNG News reported that Odermatt experienced pain during a physical training session. The team has chosen to have him rest rather than push through with the Chile camp. No timeline for his return to full training has been announced.
The preseason training in Chile will go ahead with the rest of the Swiss ski team. Daily Gazette confirmed that Odermatt will sit out this critical preparation period. The camp is meant to build fitness and technique before the official World Cup season begins. Odermatt will likely train separately to manage his recovery at home in Switzerland.
